I have had many similarly exhausting discussions before, so I empathize (it is also the reason that I paused my contributions recently.)
I would go with Werner's choices here; as the Freetype author, he is the expert on font features and technology. >From the MR: > I equally object to any contribution being merged "because the author knows > what he's doing". I object to reviewers blocking contributions just because they have a strong opinion on how things should be done. In this case, Jonas has made 0 contributions to the MF code, so I don't think his concerns should be overriding. If Jonas feels really strongly about how the kerning should be handled, I invite him to teach himself the joys of Metafont and try his hand at a follow-up MR.
